SAM- super attractive male.

Sorry I haven't been updating my blog with adventures lately, I have been pretty busy as well as soaking up the last few moments I get to have with Danny and Sam. Today is their last day, and we are all pretty sappy today and it's truly been a wonderful time with them..memories we won't forget. We arrived in Ubud a few days ago and have been swimming everyday, getting massages and eating pizza like it's going out of style. We have been having lots of good laughs and food and beautiful mornings eating breakfast on our patio surrounded by freakin monkeys and beautiful trees and flowers.



I'm going to staying put here for a few more days after they leave tomorrow, because A) After figuring my visa situation out I have realized that the extension is only until August 17th.. Which means if I wanted a third extension I would have to leave the country and then come back in again.. Which I can't afford to do so da da daaaaa big news: I am leaving for Australia a bit earlier than planned. Which isn't the worst outcome ever, I am so so soooo excited to see my Aussie homies and ready to make some money again too! And they are all stoked about this outcome as well. 

And B) in other news, I also have been accepted into and will be going to a volunteer organization by the name "volunteer by the sea" if you are super interested and curious about the program here's the link, check it out! http://www.volunteerinbali.org/volunteer-programs-bali/volunteer-in-bali-about-us.html 
I am really excited about it, I will be teaching English and even though sadly it will be just for a week, I am happy to be giving back to the community after they have given me so many smiles and memories. And I get a taste for volunteering which I can use to help do more in the future. 

I will probably will be pretty alone for the next week, Ubud is not really "the" place to make friends as I have learned in the past, but at the same time this is probably my last alone time for awhile and I'm welcoming it. That being said,
Family and friends FACETIME calls will be gladly accepted :) I can't believe it's my last few weeks in Asia, and that this journey has already come to an end.. The months have flown by faster than ever before in my life. Time for a few last adventures and goodbyes and then on to the next one.. ✈️

Sad face because I am going to miss you guys SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Much. Love you 💙💕

New found heart

Canadians have earned themselves an international stereotype of being “friendly, nice people.” Generally, most people are, but I also have been living in a small ski town for years where you say hi and stop for a chat with every passerby. So, when everybody seemed to say that Newfies were exactly that, I didn’t think to much into it.  If you: A)       Don’t like your waitress asking the table your first names and full story giving you free dessert, free pens, and her business card. B)        don’t like people always stopping for a friendly chat in front of you to a friend in the middle of the highway C)        don’t think you are a chatty person who enjoys anything from an elderly couple who are apologizing for the curlers in her hair but just wanted to stop by your campsite to say hi to almost bumping into somebody on the ferry and they start apologizing to you like they just hit you with a...

Kyushu, we lava yu.

Like I've mentioned before, we have really tried on this trip to take it easy and not squeeze every last place in. We have visited the main island Honshu, Shikoku, and now Kyushu. Kyushu we decided to go to because it warms up first, and seems to have plenty of off the beaten track spots. Or maybe its off the beaten path in low season time. Either way, often we never saw another obvious tourists and that is always a little cool. We decided that our last two weeks were going to be in cities. So we immersed ourselves in nature. With one day checking out Mount Aso, and active volcano that was actually letting out a dangerous amount of sulphur at the time we visited. So unfortunately,  we couldn't hike it. Since 2009, the town  has just re-opened for the first time in February of this year, so we were thankful for what we got! I have been blown away by the diversity of Japan. From the cities, to geographical landscapes, to how often they are hit with earthquakes and other natural...

The Spark of A Memory

  The Spark of a Memory-A Short Travel story   Japan will impress you with its innovation, but it will draw you in with its mysterious Zen. Insisting that you slow down with it, demanding that you respect it. If you bow down, it will return a peaceful bow to you. The respect and politeness of the country not only reverberates through itself, but also through its people.     As you sip sencha tea in an elegant tea house. As venerable temples stand tall above modern neighborhoods. Dark wooden Onsen’s, with magical healing waters that once healed samurais after battles. Now helped businessmen relax after work. The old and the new sing in pure harmony together, and this is the true spark of Japan.     I had a dream in my back pocket for a long time, to visit Kyoto during Cherry Blossom season. I was now living out that dream, but the contrast to reality is that this dream was one I shared with thousands of tourists from all over the world. I was frustrated afte...
